if any person in the entire debate has blood on their hands in regard to medicare, it's barack obama. >> oh, my god that guy is insane. the president stole $700 million, stole it? not exactly. here is the truth. the obama administration was able to take savings from the medicare program and then reinvest those savings back into the medicare program to extent its life by eight years. what were the savings, how much of the savings came from paying providers, doctors, hospitals differently. so in the current system doctors are paid for each service that's performed. so the incentive to make more money is to overprescribe and reward more procedures financially. under the new system doctors are rewarded for health outcomes. now that change doesn't cut benefits, it doesn't cut services, it's just a really smart way to get savings and better outcomes from the medicare program. so where does this idea that the president was stealing hundreds of billions of dollars from medicare come from? why, of course from the source of all great ideas. michele bachmann. >> the system simply has to be refor
